My current focus is surveying our candidates and clients to assemble a body of knowledge on recruiting in the metro area of Omaha, NE and other Midwest cities of its ilk. I am studying the ideas of "community centric" and "candidate centric" recruiting methods and how that can change the current industry. I also am working on a white paper (with a concurrent program) about the ineffectiveness of the current adversarial relationship between HR professionals and outside recruiting and retention firms and how that can be changed to more adequately serve the new job market in which we find ourselves.

Bio
